summer
This is our favorite time of year: our children are home, the days are warm and stretch forever, our gardens are in full bloom, and we are taking time off to have some fun. Mother Nature gives us foods that need little or nothing to show off, so we want to keep things in the kitchen as simple as possible. Nothing too fancy or ambitious, a meal of complimentary flavor combos such as zucchini and mint, corn so sweet all it needs to change it up some is a slender few summery herbs, and a local fish will suffice beautifully. A few of our best effortless recipes for summer include: Sabzi, a Fresh Herb Salad, Roasted Zucchini with Cilantro and Mint Gremolata, and Grilled Spinach with Beef Tenderloin.
